GENERATIONS

MONTH - Celebrating all the ways Rotary

develops young leaders

As you may recall, last year,

under Past-President Andy Bednar, The

The Rotary Club of Warren had a

year full of celebrations

commemorating our Centennial. During the month of September,

we will once again celebrate with

Andy as he hosts Fellowship!

This past week, September

3rd marked National Skyscraper

Day in honor of all the architects,

engineers, and construction

workers who design and build the

world’s tallest structures. One

European real estate data company defines a skyscraper as at least 330 feet,

while in the United States, a building starts to qualify as a skyscraper at

around 500 feet. The world’s first skyscraper was the Home Insurance

Building in Chicago, designed by William Le Baron Jenney and erected in

1884/1885. This building, also called the Monadnock Block, is known as the

“Father of the Skyscraper” and towered at all of 10 stories with its peak at

138 feet. It was considered gargantuan at the time.

Currently, the tallest buildings are found in the following locations:

Dubai, United Arab Emirates: 163 floors/2,717’

Shanghai, China: 128 floors/2,073’

Mecca, Saudi Arabia: 120 floors/1,971’

Shenzhen, China: 115 floors/1,965’

Seoul, South Korea: 123 floors/1,819’

NY, NY, USA One World Trade Center: 104 floors/1,776’

In a list of Future Tallest Buildings, a structure currently under

construction in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia would take the top spot at 167

floors/3,307’. That list would move One World Trade Center into at least

the 28th tallest spot, behind, among others, a building called Big Bend slated

for construction in New York City, making IT the tallest building in the

U.S.A.

In closing, Andy shared a few additional thoughts:

“Marble is a valuable building material, and it should not be taken for granite.

FELLOWSHIP

I was arguing with a construction worker. We were getting bogged

THE ROTARY CLUB OF WARREN WELCOMES

DISTRICT GOVERNOR SCOTT SCHULICK

District Governor Scott R. Schulick earned a Bachelor of Science

in Business Administration in 1994 and a Master of Business

Administration in 1996 from Youngstown State University. He began

his career as a financial advisor with Butler Wick and Company, which

was later was later acquired by Stifel Nicolaus. He is currently Vice-President

of Investments for Stifel, Nicolaus, and Co., Inc.

Scott has been active in numerous civic organizations in the

Mahoning Valley. He served two terms as President of the Rotary

Club of Youngstown, from 2003-2004 and again from 2013-2014, and

is a multiple Paul Harris Fellow. He has 20 years of perfect

attendance. Past activities also include serving as Chairperson of the

Investment Committee of the Community Foundation of the Mahoning

Valley and being a graduate of Leadership Mahoning Valley. In 2004,

Governor Taft appointed Scott as a member of YSU’s Board of

Trustees, where he served as Chair from 2008-2011.

During his visit to the Rotary Club of Warren on September 5th,

DG Schulick indicated that he joined Rotary in 1995 at the age of 23,

making him a member for half of his life. He stated that it was the

best decision he has ever made. He never aspired to be a District

Governor but has found the leadership role to be very fulfilling. He

admitted that t admitted that the best part has been visiting the different clubs.

He acknowledged that our Club is vibrant, with a long history of serving our

community, and that people of action, like our members, will be the

inspiration this year. We have the important job of motivating and

empowering others to serve.

The special thing about Rotary is that, together, people can unite and

take action across the globe, but we must first be the inspiration

within our own clubs. DG Schulick reported that over the past two years,

Rotary has had a stagnant 1.2 million members. Yet, one in nine have

terminated within their first year and many more are leaving! Rotary can

be attractive to business leaders because it is a place to network and serve

others. However, many members leave because of time constraints.

Thus, Rotary is at a crossroads. We need to rethink and reset our

Clubs in order to meet the needs of 2018. Scott indicated that successful

Rotary Clubs are like successful restaurants. We have to change the menu

of service for members and encourage them to stay for all of the courses.

Furthermore, we have to show members that their work is relevant. A few

of his suggestions were to: designate a “person of good character” as a

classification; meet two times per month instead of weekly; eliminate

attendance requirements; use technology to have live streaming meetings;

continue to raise awareness about why we strive to eradicate polio; have

service meetings, not just weekly business meetings; and reach out

to those who aren’t here today and encourage them to get back into the

fold and see how it will change their lives. The bottom line: if it’s not

broken, then break it! Be innovative and be the inspiration!

DG Schulick thanked all in attendance for putting their confidence in

him to lead District 6650 and for being members of Rotary!

Best wishes to the following Warren Rotarians who are celebrating September Birthdays:
